The Capture of Bigfoot (1979)

This movie is the best film ever made in BFW (the "W" stands for "Wisconsin"). Unfortunately, it is also the worst film ever made in BFW and should only be watched by those who believe that snow is entertaining.This movie takes place in BFW. That would be short for bum f**k Wisconsin, and it is the middle of winter too. The practical upshot of this is that every scene has snow in it. Yes, every one of them. Even the scenes shot inside have snow, because there is either a window or else snow melting off of someone who just came in from outside. To be honest, there is one scene without any actual snow in it, which is when the game warden is reading through the newspaper archives. Guess what is on the front page of the newspaper? Yes, a picture of snows. Good grief. Yes, you get to see Bigfoot, but you will also see a whole lot of snow.Did not like this movie at all. Lesson Learned: The phrase "Wardrobe by Kmart" should not appear in a film's credits. Did not like it at all. Boring.

From Box office magazine 6/18/79: "The Capture of Bigfoot", the Bill Rebane production from Studio Film Corp., will be delayed for an unknown amount of time, due to the recent disappearance of 400 feet of film negative. According to Rebane, the disappearance of the footage, out of which 200 feet was to be used in the actual movie, will delay the mid-July openings previously scheduled for Arkansas and Memphis . . .How long that delay will be depends on the results of laboratory tests currently taking place in Denver. Insurance adjustors have made a duplicate negative from the work print, and the results of the lab tests will determine whether it is commercially feasible to use it in place of the missing footage...

I enjoyed watching and listening to Sheriff Cooper. His impersonations of John Wayne and other characters cracked me up. I wonder if anyone else caught that? Our entire family enjoyed the movie,as my son says it's "Camp" and you don't see flicks like this anymore, it's fun!

This movie is, in all likelihood, the worst film ever made. It is certainly the worst that I've ever seen, and I have seen A LOT of bad movies.In this, nothing at all interesting happens throughout the movie. One could, literally, start the movie, take a short nap, and then wake up secure in the knowledge that nothing interesting has happened while you are sleeping. And I have seen this movie three times, staying awake throughout. I feel I should be congratulated.The movie goes as one might expect, according to a formula, with no variation. Hunters capture baby bigfoot, get killed by parent, and the nearby town goes into a bigfoot killing frenzy. This is surprisingly boring for a Troma release.So please do yourself a favor, and skip this movie. If you have to see it you will understand why.
